In 1987, a small group of theater enthusiasts started a musical review based on Rossland history.  The show was embellished with local lore, old time tunes and real Can-Can dancers from the Boomtown Garter Girls.  Two decades later, the Rossland Gold Fever Follies are still going strong with original stories from Rossland’s rich gold mining history.  While artistic license is often used, many of the characters are based on real people from Rossland’s past.  Such characters have included Judge Begbie, Father Pat, The Hunter Brothers, Olas Jeldness, Big John Kirkup and a whole
host of others. The Rossland Gold Fever Follies continues to run with the efforts of a volunteer executive, some of whom have been around from the start.
